Peter asked in PetsFish · 10 years ago

Is this enough lighting for coral to grow healthily?

1 blue Actinic LED (1800 lumen output, 420nm wave length, blue colored light), 1 15W fluorescent 10000K light (1000 lumen output), 1 5500K 13W fluorescent bulb (900 lumen), 1 6500K 23W fluorescent 6500K (2000 lumen output). 2 are on top (the actinic and 10k) and 2 are on the sides. I have a kenya tree and a leather coral, both dance around a lot. I plan on getting more, should I upgrade? Or am I fine?

    judging by how many numbers you have here, your coral will be fine.

    18w is in basic terms good for extremely basic comfortable corals. Your meant to pass away the lighting fixtures off at night yet get a greater useful marine particular lighting fixtures unit in case you desire to maintain different corals different than for conventional comfortable corals.
